Miscellaneous ramblings

School starts Monday. The kids got their teacher assignments and they are happy. I can’t believe there are NINE teachers for the 3rd grade. Alan said they are building a new school for grade 5-8. This town is growing so fast. The poor kids at the high school are busting out the walls!

Larissa and I went with some friends from church to see HSM play in Greer this week. It was AWESOME. I think I enjoyed it more than anyone else. I’ve heard that the high school will be doing HSM for their spring musical. I’m already looking forward to it.

Another friend from church, Kay, had a scary thing happen. Her 13 month son, Elison, got choked while with a babysitter. He got okay, but later that night he was wheezing. Luckily Kay’s “mommy instincts” told her to take him to the ER. Turns out, he had popcorn in his lung. They had to do surgery and he was in ICU for 24 hours afterwards. He’s home now but Kay is having to watch him for signs of fever. We are praying the doctors got all the popcorn and he won’t have any lasting effects from this.

Larissa and I are off to Shelby after church tomorrow for a bridal shower. Larissa just LOVES these types of events. We’ll have to get home right afterwards and start preparing for the “last night before school starts”.

Oh, everyone keeps asking us “When are you going to use the camper?”. Well, seeing how Alan won’t even go outside to play with the dog, I guess the simple answer is “Not until it cools off!”

Until next time, God willing,
